The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 Northern States and the FCT has condemned in strong terms the brutal killings of innocent residents of Bokkos local government area in Plateau State.
This is even as CAN commiserated with the Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, and the entire people of the state over what it described as yet another senseless bloodshed.

Chairman of Northern CAN, Rev. Dr. Joseph John Hayab, in a statement he made available to newsmen yesterday in Kaduna, expressed deep concern over what he termed as the disturbing and recurring culture of violence that continues to claim innocent lives across Northern Nigeria.

The association described the attack that left no fewer than 52 people dead as barbaric, tragic, and completely unacceptable.

“We condemn in totality this strange and evil culture of taking human lives. Hiding under religion, ethnicity, or any guise to unleash terror on communities is unacceptable. Our societal value for human life has dangerously eroded, and this must not be allowed to continue,” the statement read.
Northern CAN said it was heartbroken by the latest carnage, adding that its thoughts and prayers were with the families of the victims and the affected communities in Bokkos.

“This bloodletting must stop. We urge security agencies to intensify efforts to apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous crime and ensure they face the full weight of the law.

“Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done. The pattern of mass killings and mass burials, repeated in different communities year after year, must be broken through firm and proactive measures,” the statement added.

The Christian body also called on religious, traditional, and community leaders to rise to the occasion by preaching peace, unity, and tolerance among their people.

“The wanton killings across the country should not become a new normal. Nigeria must not degenerate into a nation where human lives are wasted without consequences. We must all rise and say, ‘Enough is enough,’” the statement added.

While commending the Plateau State Government for its swift response and the reported arrests made, the association urged the government to remain resolute in its commitment to peace, justice, and security.

Rev. Hayab appealed to citizens to remain calm, law-abiding, and cooperate with security agencies by reporting suspicious activities.

“May the souls of the departed rest in peace. We pray that God comforts the bereaved families and grants healing to the wounded and affected communities,” he stated.
